Grayson is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at San Jose Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,900. The registrar has said Grayson can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Grayson has a 3.8 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Grayson would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Grayson isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $3,900 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $290 • Exam and lab fees: $300 • Final term tuition: $3,310 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Brenda
